Orjonikidze,Baku

Serebrovskyshould not take offence at the tone of my
telegram: I was worried over the future of Baku. I consider
Serebrovsky a most valuable worker. I demand that you
keep me supplied with exact information about the results
of the work in improving the oil industry in Baku, and
also about the results of foreign trade operations. Let
Serebrovsky see this telegram.

LeninChairman, C.L.D.

[1]Writtenon the reverse side of G. K. Orjonikidze’s telegram
to Lenin of June 11, 1921. Orjonikidze informed him that A. P.
Serebrovsky regarded Lenin’s telegram of June 6 (see this volume,
Documents 198 and 201) as an expression of mistrust in him and
was planning to resign, and advised Lenin to send Serebrovsky
a telegram to calm him down.
